1. First, "100 percent" doesn't mean "100 percent." Most phones are actually fully charged at 95 percent. However, it's bad for the battery to maintain a 100 percent charge. Therefore, the phone reads "100 percent" when the charge is actually a bit lower. Yes, it's a little complicated, but the takeaway is that you'll get the most battery life by unplugging your phone when it reads 95 percent. 2. Don't let your battery die completely. This actually isn't great for the battery, contrary to popular belief. Instead, charge your phone whenever you can. Just remember to unplug it before it's fully charged to avoid "stressing" the battery. 3. Don't let your phone overheat. Heat can be bad for numerous components in your phone. If your phone gets hot while charging, that could be a bad sign. To reduce heat, take it out of its case before charging. Leave it on a hard surface where the heat can dissipate. 4. Likewise, you should never leave your phone on a bed or pillow while it's charging. Not only does this increase your risk of overheating, but there's a very small chance that it could start a fire. It's not worth the risk. 5. Always try to keep Li-ion batteries at 50 percent. Never let it slip below 20 percent, if at all possible. 6. Try to avoid fast charging when possible. While it's convenient, it can be stressful for the battery. Use fast charging only when it's absolutely necessary. 7. Make sure you're using a charger that's rated for your phone. Yeah, it fits, but that doesn't mean that it's the right charger. Brand doesn't matter, but power rating certainly does matter. 8. If you're storing your phone for a long period of time, charge it occasionally. Otherwise, the battery will lose the ability to hold a charge. 9. Li-ion batteries lose about 5-10 percent of their battery charge per month of storage. That's handy to know if you're storing a smartphone for some reason. 10. Recycle, sell, or donate your old smart phones. Old batteries can be hazardous, and they can even explode. Don't take the risk; do something with your old phone. 11. Remember to close apps when you're not using them. This can greatly extend your battery life, especially if those apps are using location services. 12. Finally, remember that all smartphone batteries eventually die. That's why it's best to go for units with replaceable batteries.

Waiting for some facts to face debunking. I do most of the listed so didn't really learn anything new apart from the 95% rule which I highly doubt I'd stick to. |
